Toxic culture, no work life balance, bad management - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Adobe

First and foremost, don't join Adobe India for professional services with an expectation of joining real Adobe. It is "NOT" the product wing, but it is like any other Indian service company, even far more worst than them. Too much toxic work culture, no real work/solution done by the tech team, more managers than the technical delivery resources. Managers are just like resource providers and not managing the tech delivery like other service companies. If you join as a data personnel, you have to keep oiling your managers to be in their good book - if you are guy just roam around with them and keep saying good things about them even when they are useless and making your life hell. If you are a lady, then engage in casual talk and keep smiling with their flirtatious statements. From project perspective - either you are a data engineer or data architect, you will keep doing same job, like - loading file, creating table, column, there is no clear differentiation between a DE and a DA work. On top of that the worst part is - you will be assigned to minimum 3-4 projects to cover your 40 hrs weekly billing. Say 4 projects and your allocation will be 10 hrs in each, ending up 2 hrs/day in one client project. And then one project is from one business domain and another one is completely different business domain. By working for them 2 hrs per day and doing data loading jobs, you will neither gain business knowledge, nor gain technical depth. All engineers and architects are encouraged to work in toxic culture, stretching every day and night ending up working 60 hrs a week, forcing to work in morning-noon-night shifts for clients from different regions. Inside the team, so much high competency and insecurity are created that people become unhelpful and suppress information. Some managers itself is a bully and a toxic person. In every party you have to sit and drink with them till late night (even though you are a lady), they will force you to do so. If you disagree and leave, he will bully and sideline you in office. For ideation and innovation related work, teams only create demo in ppt and word document and present them inside the group they created. In last 5 years of my tenure, NOT A SINGLE idea of them was acquired by Adobe Engineering/Product team. But the manager is able to keep the job and the team just by sucking the feet of higher management. What I found hilariously funny is, they have made insider group and keep giving awards to each other without showcasing any real delivery.
